As a former competitive tennis player, stringing makes a big difference in how the racket feels and behaves. A good string job gives you more confidence because the ball feels better after coming off the racket. Hard to explain if you haven't played a lot, but this is certainly a factor
On the flip side, I often play with a verity of wooden rackets (some with very loose strings) and I think the helps to insulate from being too dependent on the quality of the equipment.
They string for way more than just those two. I think the have Isner, Monfils, Murray, Djokovic, Federer, Wawrinka, Raonic and many more. I think the only big name they don't have is Nadal. They used to have a cool twitter account @priority1
The balance and weight of a racket are very important. Of instance, if you buy a racket at Wal-Mart the racket is half the weight of a good racket. Almost all pros modify their racket. When you see players playing with rackets that look like those in the store, you are seeing what is called a paintjob. The biggest mod for Djokovic's racket was to add length.
00:36 you can see the power pads 1:24 and there are the string savers 3:44 Thats the racket Federer used from 2007-2009, ironically, also its the one he used to smash when in 2009, what the reporter may have been talking about later in the interview
As someone who strings their own racquets, Roman Prokes and Ron Yu are my absolute idols in racquet customization. It must be known that pros do not get the same retail racquets available to the public and that when they "switch" racquets, they are switching the paint jobs that while keeping the racquet the same. If players were constantly changing racquets every year, their shots would be different even with the same specs due to the mold of the racquet. However, Federer is the one of the few who changes their racquets, but he has a lot of feedback that influences the retail racquet. This is evident when Wilson the all black Prostaff RF 97A but when the "tuxedo" colorway came out, he was dissatisfied and changed back to the all black. This was because the molds were different.
Thanks for the clarification on the 97A black and white model. On the paintjobs where does one begin? Both wawrinka and Novak use heavily leaded 95 sq in paintjob versions of the retail frames they endorse for example.
Yup, I heard that Pete Sampras was using the same frame for a long time, but sometimes he would let them paint it to look like the latest and greatest racquet on the market.
It's been done since the 80's. Lendl, Becker, Edberg, Courier and many more used the same racquet their entire careers. Paint jobs are only a marketing tool.
The mindset of Japanese athletes is so different from the rest of the world. Smashing rackets for them as a release of frustration and the makers of the tennis racket and people who string them consider it as source of income and more money. In Japan the athletes consider destroying of sports equipment as disrespectful to the people who makes the equipment. Suzuki Ichiro one time broke his baseball bat out of frustration. He latter apologize to the maker of the bat and never did it again.
Roger Federer also has a guy conditioning his spaghetti when he eats pasta... If the noodles are not properly layed out before he's rolling them up, it could lead to a wrist injury. The fork also has to be balanced properly to guarantee a perfect scoop every time.

@@vika0194 customized racquet is critically important to playing at the highest level. But a customized racquet will do nothing in the hands of a player without the skills to match
Novak reduced his swingweight from 370 to 364. His new racquet is slightly longer, lighter and the string pattern is 18x19 (earlier 18x20). Interestingly Medvedev uses a 18x19 too (similar strokes to Djokovic).
@@mastershake886 i play with a 16x20 and definitely prefer it to a 16x19 but my dad also has a volkl 18x20 which can produce as much spin as my frame even though he hits the ball typically more flat
Hah! Fed, Novak and Mats need customized rackets to hit their shots consistently. That's nothing! I can hit inconsistent shots consistently with non customized rackets.
hmmm dunno, like the first string to explain how he pulled the cross strings while burning pits into the main strings? i assume its nylon with was covered filaments which would burn , thus leading to premature breakages on court. its always recommended to move the strings with opposite fingers to avoid burning
Hi, could you modify the video to add subtitles? The option of subtitles doesn't appear, im from Argentina, and sometimes its a little bit harder to understand everything :(
I love how for a racket smash they show John Isner - someone who rarely smashes his rackets 😂. Could have literally shown anyone else. Show Djokovic smashing one of your custom rackets lol
I noticed that, too. Isner is one of the most disrespectful players in the entire ATP when it comes to his racquet sponsor, though Prince still stays with him for some reason.
Djokovic is a well behaved guy off court and most of the time on court. At least when he smashes it or screams, he comes out to be a winner. Imagine smashing for nothing, it's like burning money.
Federer is going to be here in Ecuador the 24th of November for a match. But they say in Quito. That is serious elevation, over 9000ft. . It will be interesting to see how he plays. I trust this gentleman will be with him. Welcome to Ecuador.
I just assumed Pros use the same rackets all the time. I didn't even know they used multiples per tournaments. Makes sense but shows how little I know about tennis!
bruh the fact that the two guys who string other players racquets in the same room can also mean that one of the stringers can sabotage the other player by messing up the other persons racquet.
2:08 Kind of arrogant to say that. I'm sure there are pros like Medvedev who don't care at all who strings their racket. And yes, even I feel the difference. I'm playing tennis since I was 3 years old. It takes me less than 15 minutes minutes to adapt to it. So I'm sure a pro can do it in less than 5. The do that, because they can never blame the strings or the racket. It's literally just a mental thing.
We missed out on another HUGE showdown with Federer/Nadal in US Open this Year...Federer had his foot on Dimitrovs Neck during that match and had him 0-40 with 3 break points to give Dimitrov NO HOPE...Federer could not win "1" of those points...Federer needs to bring in some kind of MENTAL coach who can calm him down during the BIG points...He gets VERY VERY nervous
Maybe you should credit Dimitrov for hanging tough in that 4th set and saving those breakpoints? He made Roger work for them and Roger missed. Maybe you can also see the extended highlights to appreciate how hard grigor pushed fed physically. Except set 1 which was a typical grigor choke the match was hard fought. Period.
Nah he probably doesn't. It's the way of life really that those in the bottom of anyone sitting at the very top of a subject matter to make a fraction of that which the former makes. And that amount isn't even remotely close to 6 figures for sure!
Priority 1 stringers charge a flat rate gold level is 100k a year silver level is 50k a year. Gold level they will goto all your atp1000 tournaments and the slams any more tournaments is extra gold level includes unlimited stringing and customization. Silver level is only stringing at majors and ATP 1000
To think that the Head racquet has 9.1 grams less on it right out of the factory. Appalling. And they sell them for no less than 150$ to 200$ per racquet.
Maybe that was to spec it differently? But yeah there is a discrepancy threshold. 9 grams isn't bad. I think that was for matching swing weight though. Not just weight. That's why it was in such a specific spot and then shaved later.
Not only 9.1 grams less, because Novak adds 2 overgrips, that's 12 grams more in the handle. Total 21.1 grams added to the original frame. Considering they haven't added silicone inside the handle, wich is a common practice between pros.
Final nail in the coffin of "Player X uses exact stock racket you'd buy off the shelf". B.s., even if I didn't know about special head/ wilson classic models/ pro stock rackets. All marketing hype gimmicks. Doesn't matter anyways, what matters is what racket feels closest to an extension of our arm, then focus on other more important things (technique, footwork, etc.) to play better tennis
